The house renovation process which usually takes a long time, fluctuating material prices, additional desire to buy extra accessories, and the idea of changing the design because of sudden inspiration make homeowners dizzy to think about the budget.
Therefore, the architect of a building design service provider and contractor, Jettaliving, Jefri Buntoro, advised homeowners to prepare an unexpected cost of 10-15 percent of the set budget.
Want to save more? Architect and co-founder of building design services provider, Broadgate, Grace Lisa Susanto, recommends that you renovate your residence at once. “In terms of cost, purchasing materials in larger quantities tends to be cheaper. Moreover, the price of materials and furniture is getting more expensive over time. If the renovation is done in stages, the actual cost will be more expensive,” explained Grace.
The question that then arises, if the funds you have are only enough to renovate two or three rooms, which one should be prioritized? Grace recommends the living room and kitchen as a priority.
The family room is the center of activity that becomes the soul of a house, while the kitchen adds to the value of residential luxury. The kitchen, in Grace's view, is the most frequently exposed space after the family room and living room.
At the end of the conversation, Jefri added, “The main bedroom also needs more attention because that is where the homeowner starts and ends all activities in a day. Therefore it is necessary to arrange the master bedroom so that the homeowner feels comfortable, not bored when he is there.”
